Meeting at Cape Coral Art League

Backgrounds (Acrylic)
GETTING WITCHY!
                                                                                  with Martha Stevenson

Due to a student artist with a serious allergy to certain painting products, we are asking that you refrain from bringing these with you into the classroom.

  • Turpinoid Natural by Martin Weber
  • Any Krylon product

Fall is in the air and everywhere you look you’ll see things getting WITCHY… Martha will teach this Halloween scene for October. The skill for this month is painting BACKGROUNDS.

Backgrounds can be smooth or mottled created with brushes, rollers, or sponges. For the Big spaces on this 16×20 canvas a large flat brush will work very well to let you get the paint down without drying so you can paint wet into  wet. Blend your colors. Play a bit. Select your own background colors and characters/items you put on it. There will be stencils to choose from, too.
Help grow your chapter. Bring a guest. GUESTS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME!
